Mr. Watts’ comprehensive experience includes working directly for the Director of investigations at the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) during the Savings and Loan crisis. Initially hired as a senior member of the Drexel Task Force, he investigated and litigated the suit filed by the FDIC and RTC against Michael Milken and Drexel relating to their involvement in the S&L crisis. The task force’s actions ultimately achieved a $1 billion settlement. Mr. Watts went on to co-organize and manage the RTC’s Office of Special Investigations.
